Ground‐water studies in the Southwest
O. E. Meinzer
1942, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (23) 6-9
Geologists are concerned with the rock‐systems that form the crust of the Earth. The groundwater geologists are concerned with the rock‐systems specifically because the open spaces which the rocks contain serve as reservoirs and conduits for water—water which performs a large part of the geologic work that is in progress...

The Lufkin Area, as the term is used in this paper, is comprised of Angelina and Nacogdoches counties, Texas, and parts of adjoining counties. Its surface is gently rolling, with a maximum relief of about 150 feet and a maximum altitude of less than 400 feet. The average annual rainfall...
Manganese-bearing veins in southwestern Virginia
Anna I. Jonas
1942, Economic Geology (37) 408-423
Veins carrying manganese silicates largely in the form of the manganese garnet, spessartite, occur in the crystalline schists and gneisses of Carroll and Grayson Counties, Virginia, in the southern parts of the Galax and Independence quadrangles just north of the North Carolina State line. This brief paper includes a discussion...
Deep‐seated solution in the Meade basin and vicinity, Kansas and Oklahoma
K.C. Frye, S.L. Schoff
1942, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (23) 35-39
During the closing years of the 19th century, Haworth [see 1 and 2 of “References” at end of paper] and Johnson [3] noted the abundant depressions resembling sink‐holes in the Southern High Plains, especially in Meade and Clark counties, Kansas, and Beaver County, Oklahoma. Johnson was of the opinion that...

Use of phosphate for separation of cobalt from iron
V. North, R. C. Wells
1942, Industrial and Engineering Chemistry (14) 859-860
The well-known tendency of cobalt to be retained by the iron-alumina precipitate produced by ammonia has generally been ascribed to a specific adsorption by the large surface of this gelatinous precipitate. Whatever its cause, it can be overcome by precipitating the iron as phosphate at a pH of 3.5. The...

The preliminary hearth heating method (A and E) gave results within the A. S. T. M. tolerances for all duplicates obtained in the same laboratory. Checks between different laboratories within A. S. T. M. tolerances were obtained for coals containing up to about 3.6 per cent mineral carbon dioxide, but...
Summaries of yearly and flood flow relating to Iowa streams 1873-1940
